  IDK, Ben Stiller made Severance, which is pretty thoughtful, philosophical sci-fi. He’s got the chops and the interest in making something, the idea leaves me cautiously optimistic.

  Yeah, Final Fantasy 1 and 8, I think

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As electric bills rise, evidence mounts that data centers share blame. States feel pressure to act⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Bigger clients negotiate bulk discounts, basically. But the other factor at play here is supply and demand. The higher the demand, the higher the price for the supply. Household demand has remained more or less the same, but because data center demand has shot up, prices have too.

  It’s cool, I’m playing the long game

  Glad to hear you think of me, if indirectly

  Doctors used to and still do make house calls. You just have to be wealthy

  Exactly. “Alternate timeline fantasy with some mythology vibes”, something like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hertz' AI System That Scans for "Damage" on Rental Cars Is Turning Into an Epic Disaster⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s different is that most people will see it as “tech stuff” and mentally file it in a drawer with spare extension cords and adapters. They don’t care to deeply study or catalog things.

  People writ-large don’t care about proper genre labels either, they just kinda pick a vibe and guess off of it. Look at all the -core suffixed aesthetic names that cropped up in the last decade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Homophobia implies the existence of jumpscare Yaoi/Yuri⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I love the hell out of that anime but it’s difficult to recommend to people because explaining the setting so it doesn’t make people uncomfortable would spoil several of the plot twists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hertz' AI System That Scans for "Damage" on Rental Cars Is Turning Into an Epic Disaster⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. But most people have neither the time nor capacity to track all of these specifics, so popular discussions of AI-related technologies inevitably break down into a mud pit of people talking past each other about various different topics.

  Which, if you think about it, is true of most public discussions about any complex topic. It almost invariably revolves into a miscommunication or a discussion about semantics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hertz' AI System That Scans for "Damage" on Rental Cars Is Turning Into an Epic Disaster⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s also the other way around. What was called AI in the past is now called bots. Simple algorithms that approximate the appearance of intelligence like even the earliest chess engines, for instance, were also called AI.

  The 2024 democratic primary was effectively nonexistent because Biden was running for re-election. Don’t be ridiculous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Age verification and the enshitification of streaming will help reduce the decline in computer literacy in under 18s⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a 90’s kid, I think we’re roughly on-par.

  I grew up with Windows (95, then 98), DOS, MacOS 8, 9, and X, and used several Apple II computers at school. I was able to use dial-up on my own by like 7?

  Built my first custom gaming PC at 12 or maybe 13. It ran XP, which needed a bit of tweaking to run some of my old DOS games.

  Man, I do not miss dealing with Sound Blaster drivers.

  How did this get past the regulations?

  It’s almost like DOGE specifically dismantled the parts of the government that were investigating and attempting to regulate Musk’s companies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some people could sound angrier when complaining, new study finds⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  More like an observation than anything. The study showed that people from Quebec sound angrier when complaining, whereas people from France sound sadder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here’s why there are so few new cars for under $30,000⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Used Electric cars are cheap, though. Everyone sees the battery tech advancing fast, so EVs depreciate quickly since the battery is a huge chunk of the cost.

  Come to Pennsylvania, we have tons of alleged ghost sightings. I’ve met several people who claim to have seen ghosts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is lemmy.sdf.org running poorly for anyone else?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the best we can do is post on the Unix shell bboard system and request an update to the Lemmy version.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is lemmy.sdf.org running poorly for anyone else?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, it’s been slow. Maybe we can get them to update the Lemmy version while they’re at it. Lots of performance improvements in newer versions

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Tuesday" which sounds like "twos-day" is day number 2 in the week whether you one-index and start your week on Monday *or* zero-index and start your week on Sunday.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s from Tyr, the Norse god. Originally closer to Tyr’s day, hence the odd spelling relative to the pronunciation.

  Likewise we have (W)Odin’s Day, Thor’s Day, Frida’s Day, and Saturn-Day. Of course there’s also the Sun’s day and the Moon’s day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Q anon was a psyop.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The issue with the line of thinking you’re espousing is that without evidence, you’re suggesting a more complicated cause than simple chance.

  Like yes, it is possible that somebody or some group lined all of these things up in advance, but it’s also entirely possible that there’s a ton of noise out there on the internet and that those with nefarious interests just signal boost the noise that benefits them.

  Think of all the millions of random schizo-posters out there. You just pick whichever makes the right sounds and boost them. No need to invent the crazy when there’s crazy on tap.
